Seriously, what the heck is the problem? However disruptive and dreadful any child might be, there is no excuse for a teacher to treat them in this fashion. NONE.

"Don't be a baby!" "You can't sit in the chair right 'cause you're to big for your pants." ( the child this was said to had a weight problem. And after that comment, his attitude changed drastically, he stopped eating and became withdrawn.) "These kids have no respect! especially that one!" The teacher would point out a child and give him/her a bad look. I know there is a lack of knowledge and more training needs to take place. War may be on the priority list of some of these higher ups, but Education, Teacher trainings and up keeping of health findings in our children need to be added to that list at the TOP because it's the CHILDREN that will be taking over the WORLD!!!!!!
